Unless you have her locked up in your basement you are completely ignoring the outside dangers to your daughter: perverts and rapists. Are they going to not assault her because she's 12 or 14 or still a virgin at 16? Get the vaccine because if she were raped and developed cervical cancer when you could've prevented that further horror, you will find it hard to live with yourself.

I'm certainly not ignoring the outside dangers.

I think the chances of bad side effects from the vaccine would be higher than her getting raped.

I certainly have made it through life without getting raped or cervical cancer.

Yes, I know of two women that have had cervical cancer. They were also extremely sexually active women.

I hope my daughters will not be that way, and I'll keep my eye on them until they are 18.

http://www.rainn.org/statistics/ It looks like a girls chances of being raped have fallen to about 1:1,000. If she's raped, there's a chance the rapist has the virus.

If he does, there's a chance the girl might get infected.

If she does, there's a chance the virus may not last in her body.

It it does, there's only a slight chance that it could progress into cervical cancer.

Pap tests are very effective in diagnosing abnormalities early enough to make it very treatable.

So because there's a small chance that something bad might happen to a girl that might result in a miniscule chance of her developing cancer, you think it's perfectly justifiable for a governor to bypass normal legislative process and sign an executive order to require girls to get a vaccine to protect them from something they are not likely to die from anyway. Spoken like a true liberal.
